Next challenge for govt.: how to stop largely ‘leaderless’ crowd from regrouping after October 10 anti-CEC protest
The Indian government faces a new challenge after the October 10 anti‑CEC protest, where a largely leaderless crowd gathered. Officials say that replicating the extensive security measures used on Saturday is impractical in the coming days, and that detaining protesters for over 24 hours would violate legal limits. Authorities are exploring alternative crowd‑control tactics while balancing civil liberties.
